How to copy images from examinations.ie past LC papers?

    Hi,

    Would anybody know how I could copy images - e.g. graphs - from past papers?

    I'm trying to copy the diagram here into a simple WORD document in order to have all past exam questions for a particular topic together. The text copies fine, but the graph won't.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    Greenshot is very useful for those kinds of tasks :)

    and why bother about potential copyright infringements, no-one pays attention anyway. Presumably you have the appropriate permissions from the SEC to use their material and you've read their T&Cs.

    Good one. That worked on the years I couldn't copy directly. One which I could copy directly by highlighting and right clicking 'copy image' - Section B, Q2 here - curiously enough came out with the data mislabelled when I pasted it into a WORD document. Using Greenshot the data came out correctly labelled.

    Thanks.

    Nobody mentioned selling or profitting from such assembled notes.

    The SEC makes them freely available for people to use for their own personal use, which is what I presume Dionysus is talking about.

    Neither did I but copyright infringement may occur where the copyrighted material is not offered for sale or for profit.

    I draw your attention to the following from the SEC site :-

    "2.2 Users may retrieve examination material solely for their own personal, non-commercial use, as specified at 2.2 above, and may download the material to their own hard disc or send it to a printer solely for that purpose.
    They may not otherwise copy, modify, or distribute the examination material, or publish, broadcast, transmit, or otherwise distribute any portion of this material without the express written authorisation of the State Examinations Commission. Any unauthorised use is strictly prohibited. The State Examinations Commission permits no unauthorised modifications, adaptations or translations of the examination material.

    The bolding is mine.

    I try to avoid presumption; it can be problematic as his childish outburst above indicates.

    Can't you use the snapshot tool in Adobe Reader? Click it, drag a box around the area you want copied, and then it's put on your clipboard. Very quick and straightforward.
